“Ge Ge…”
The woman was lying unconscious on the gurney with a face as pale as a sheet of paper.
Egger felt his heart being squeezed by an invisible hand.
“How is she?”
Looking up, the gaze from his deep blue eyes was like that of the cruelest wolf in the grassland. He glared at the nurse as though he wanted to eat her up alive.
The nurse began to shake just like the doctor earlier when she received this man’s glare.
“S-She…” The nurse stammered from shock.
She was tongue-tied for a moment and could not muster a coherent answer the moment she saw his dashing face contorted in a cruel grimace, which was akin to that of a man-eating beast.
“Speak! How is she?”
He became infuriated at the nurse’s attitude.
The man was worried to begin with at the sight of Pei Ge lying on the gurney like this, so his mood became much worse when the nurse just kept stuttering without saying anything coherent.
At the same time, he grew even more worried about the unconscious woman.
“She’s fine! It’s just that she used up all her energy so she fell asleep!”
After being shouted at by the man, the nurse recovered herself and explained the patient’s situation.
Egger was instantly relieved to hear the nurse’s reassurance, and the cruel expression on his face disappeared as if it had never been there.
Knowing that the woman’s life was not in danger and that she was just sleeping, the contours of his face became filled with gentleness.
The nurse became braver after seeing his gentle look.
It seemed that he was only like that moments ago because he was worried about his girlfriend’s health.
Hence, the nurse initiated a conversation with him.
“This sir, your girlfriend is fine, but your children…”
Now that he was feeling relieved, he finally thought of the children at the nurse’s reminder.
“Where are they?”
He frowned and scanned his surroundings before noticing that, not far from Pei Ge, there were three nurses carrying a child each.
This time, without waiting for the nurse’s reply, he walked toward one of the nurses carrying the babies.
“He…”
Seeing the child swaddled in a blanket, for reasons unknown, he became nervous.
Although this child had no blood ties to him, he became nervous for no reason.
“Sir, your eldest son is very healthy so you can carry him.”
The nurse had been in the department of gynecology for a long time and had seen the reactions of many fathers when they first saw their children.
Although this man appeared really ferocious earlier, his current reaction was clearly the stupidest and most dazed reaction a new father could have.
Where was his earlier ferociousness, which seemed to want to eat someone alive, now?
Just like that, the man was ‘forced’ to take the child from the nurse.
The moment the child was placed in his embrace, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart…
“Don’t be nervous; your hand should support here, here, and here.” The nurse found it hilarious to see him very stiff from head to toe.
The man, who had an imposing aura earlier, was as nervous as a kid when it came to babies.
His tsundere reaction was really adorable!
“Sir, your and your girlfriend’s babies are the cutest I’ve ever seen throughout my time delivering children!”
The nurse praised smilingly; her voice was filled with much sincerity.
Listening to the nurse’s praise, the corners of his lips could not help curling into a light smile.
There was a sense of satisfaction in his heart when he looked at the fair and tender baby in his arms, who was blowing bubbles while soundly sleeping.
Even though the child was not his, he felt as if he were a new father with his flesh and blood in his arms.
The child in his arms was sweet and cute. He even had an indescribable milky scent, and coupled with his small, round face, he looked really adorable, just like a rice ball.
Looking at the baby, Egger thought that, no matter what, he would not get sick of carrying him.
However, this lighthearted feeling of happiness did not last long before it was interrupted.
“Sir, although you’re very excited and happy right now, I am required to tell you that, other than the eldest child, the other babies have weak constitutions…” When she saw the apparent happiness on his face, the nurse got herself together and told him this softly.
“What?” He knitted his brows together at the nurse’s words.
“The other two children, due to being born prematurely, have poor constitutions.”
Almost instantly, all of his happiness dissipated!
He walked toward the two other nurses with the baby blowing bubbles contentedly in his arms.
His heart sank immediately when he saw the babies in the nurses’ arms.
That was because the other two babies’ condition did not look well, indeed.
Despite being born at the same time, the eldest child in his arms was fair and likeable just a big rice ball.
The other two babies, meanwhile, looked like sickly kittens with faces in an unhealthy shade of purple.
Their bodies and heads were too small as well.
One look, and people would know that these two were not very healthy.
“Sir, please give me back the child. You should accompany your girlfriend to the ward first. We’ll check these three babies first.”
The nurse took the child away from him thereafter.
Seeing the nurse’s receding back, Egger remained silent for a moment as his brows knitted tightly together.
This seemed not to work out…
Walking beside Pei Ge’s gurney, he entered the ward and took out his phone. He dialed a pediatrician whom he knew…
The mother and children had to be safe!
